Melania Forced Trump to Renegotiate Prenup
June 12, 2020 at 6:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“When Melania Trump stayed behind in New York after her husband’s presidential inauguration, she said it was because she didn’t want to interrupt their then-10-year-old son Barron’s school year. News stories at the time concentrated on an apparent frostiness between the first couple and the exorbitant taxpayer costs to protect Melania and Barron away from Washington,” the Washington Post reports.

“Those stories are true, but Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan reveals in a new book that the first lady was also using her delayed arrival to the White House as leverage for renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Trump.”

6. I find your comment offensive. My wife and I have a similar age gap.

There is nothing creepy or disgusting about our relationship.

[TristanIsolde]

7. Sorry about that.

I was not aware that a 23 year gap is acceptable. I will admit I am a bit of a puritan there due to my religious upbringing (not religious anymore but some things stick with me)

[whopis01]

18. Thank you for understanding. n/t

[Mariana]

27. Which religion prohibits marriage when the parties have a 23 year gap in age?

For the record, the real Puritans didn't have any problem with it.

[TristanIsolde]

32. Not a particular religion prohibition, more of a conservative upbringing

As in: marriage being viewed as a social duty and we are dirty animals if we enjoy sex. Greek Orthodox to answer your question specifically, and even then my family were weird and probably other greek orthodox are more open.

I also guess that because for me a 23 year age difference means having a relationship with a 15 year old, I didn't think through that it might be ok if the younger party is well into adulthood.

[obamanut2012]

48. You still think those of us with larger age gaps are disgusting and creepy

And, we apparently all just want to have an "adult child" we can fuck. That si literally what you said. Your edit is meaningless to me. Delete it and educate yourself.

Judgemnetal, ageist claptrap.

[TristanIsolde]

53. I deleted it.

[Cha]

75. It's not the "age difference" that's "Creepy" about them But they are CREEPY!

[kcr]

83. Agree

[Mme. Defarge]

60. This has absolutely nothing to do with

the Greek Orthodox Christian faith.

[Captain Zero]

82. When Benjamin Harrisons wife died

He married her niece. But it was after he was president. That was during Victorian times and not uncommon.

[Boomer]

40. My parents weren't creepy either, tyvm

My parents had a 20-year ago gap and a marriage that lasted over 40 years. My mother was in her early 30s when they met and married, so my father was not marrying a child. I can't think of any instance during my childhood when that age spread had any relevance to anyone.

[obamanut2012]

49. +1

[redstatebluegirl]

65. My husband is 12 years younger than me. We get a lot of nasty comments by Bible thumpers and

puritans. We have been happily married for over 25 years. Age means nothing.

[Skittles]

77. WTF

I would seriously say FUCK YOU to anyone who dared to make any comments like that.

[redstatebluegirl]

78. Well husband has to a couple of neighbors and one staff member we work with.

It didn't seem to be an issue until we moved to the bible belt. It has gotten worse as I age I guess.

[Skittles]

79. sorry, no, I would not tolerate that from ANYONE

not all all

[redstatebluegirl]

80. It isn't an easy thing to live here being as liberal as both of us are.

We choose our battles carefully. The best one was my husband taking on a rwnj who was running for state senate. My husband lost it when he started bashing gays and lesbians and talking about the sanctity of marriage. He scared him so bad he backed off the porch and went on his way spewing his hate. We grow weary, you will see why when you see the crowds at the BOK Center in Tulsa.

[niyad]

36. Welcome to DU.

[TristanIsolde]

37. Thank you

[niyad]

38. The FIRST Couple of France have a similar age gap, only it is Madam Macron who is older..

[obamanut2012]

46. My age gap is one year more, so I'll let my fiancee know we are disgusting

And creepy. And apparently it's because I want a daughter who I can fuck or something. Even though she's an adult.

And yes, your edit means NOTHING, because you wrote it and meant it. JFC.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Atta girl!

[Botany]

3. I wonder how fast the divorce papers will be filed either after the election or the inauguration?

Do you ever stop to wonder how we got a Slovenian "sex worker" as first lady?

She came here illegally, she and Donald lied about her having a 4 year degree, she did
sex films and photos, Jeffery Epstein introduced her to Trump, and she was never really
a model.

[Strelnikov_]

14. She was a plant by the Russian mob

to report back on what Red Don was up to. Probably had Epstein 'present' various women.

At some point she revealed to him who/what she is. That is why she is the only woman he fears, but is not willing to belittle. And he fears/resents her, that is apparent.

[dawg day]

22. His first wife perhaps too.

She got out of the USSR by suspicious ease at a time when people often had to risk their lives to defect. And she came into the US illegally probably. And after marrying her, Trump started doing deals with Russians.

[dalton99a]

33. +1

[smirkymonkey]

66. I think Ivana came through Canada first.

She obtained Austrian citizenship first through marriage and then from there moved to Canada to be with a boyfriend in Montreal.

[dawg day]

67. Yes, and she worked as a ski instructor across the border...

And apparently just... stayed in NY.

Got green card and citizenship after marrying Trump-- all three of the Ivana kids were born to, uh, a possible undocumented immigrant. Ivana, Donnie Jr, and Eric... anchor babies!

[mopinko]

41. i wish some talking head would wonder outloud what trump modeling was really about.

he didnt need to go to the trouble of cultivating those women just to be his eye candy.
he could buy all of that he needed. shit, i'm sure he could have gotten it for free just by sharing the photos w the agencies.

[BComplex]

69. I've been saying from day one: trump and epstein were BOTH into trafficking children

Why do you think so many of the children in cages at the border have gone missing? Trump made sure epstein was dead before he could make some kind of deal to save himself. And...there was Bill Barr, who is likely up to his eyeballs in the same thing.

[Squidly]

71. THIS

[CTyankee]

56. Won't it be nice to have a first lady who has a Ph.D and who has never posed nude for a

publication? Dr. Jill Biden is the personification of a First Lady (altho I don't care for the title myself) in the best sense of the word. I am filled with hope and admiration when I see her standing at Biden's side. I feel the same pride I felt with Michelle Obama.

[RobinA]

72. I'll Be Happy

to have a First Lady who looks like she can stand to be around her husband. Watching Melania and Donald is excruciating.

[lunatica]

85. I agree. Jill will be an outstanding FLOTUS

I hope we see a lot of her and I’m pretty sure she’s going to have a big say on education. This country needs a good educational policy.

[keithbvadu2]

57. "lied about her having a 4 year degree"? But, but, but, she got a genius visa!

"lied about her having a 4 year degree"?

But, but, but, she got a genius visa!

[bluevoter4life]

64. I'm convinced the divorce papers are already drawn up

She is waiting until Nov. 4 to sign them.

[GoCubsGo]

68. She probably had them drawn up back in 2016.

Word has it she was going to dump him as soon as he lost the election. She wasn't planning on his theft being successful. I strongly suspect that her promising to stay in the marriage during Fat Bastard's presidency was the leverage she needed to renegotiate the prenup.

[tavernier]

4. She will be on a plane one minute after election is over

and her well paid ass will never be seen in our country again.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. Can't wait.

[shanti]

70. Definitely

as will her parents. Not sure about Barron. Chump would be cruel enough to ban him from leaving the US.

[RobinA]

73. Trump Won't Want Him

He’s a minor who requires actual care. Plus, who knows. Melania might actual care about him. I hope so. I feel so sorry for that child.

[Ilsa]

84. I think Barron and her parents are the

Only people she loves. The show she puts on with trump is part of her contract.

[StarfishSaver]

5. This is one of the reasons I have never bought into the "poor, unhappy Melania is trapped" sympathy

“She is … much more like him than it appears,” Jordan adds.
...
They also seem to love each other, according to people who witnessed their early courtship, and others who have seen their relationship in the White House go from frosty to warm again.

What emerges is a picture of personal ambition similar to Trump’s. In 1999, when he ran for president on the Reform Party ticket, she gave interviews musing about becoming the next Jackie O. Later, she echoed Trump’s calls for then-president Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, an alignment with the “birther” attacks primarily driven by Trump.

“There is ample evidence that from the very beginning,” Jordan writes, “Melania not only accepted and embraced Trump’s political aspirations but was also an encouraging partner.”

She is just as bad as he is and is in this thing for all she can get, just like the other members of his grifting family.

[Chemisse]

8. I fell for it very early on. But she showed her true nature pretty quickly. n/t

[dmr]

45. Hey, Star, do you have a link for your snippet?

I want to read it. Thanks

Yes, like you, I never bought into the poor Melania bullshit. I think she looks as mean as hell. She can change her facial expressions and demeanor on a dime.

The wearing of that coat with the big bold letters "I Really Don't Care, Do You?" was absolutely inappropriate.

To be worn by any one, let alone a middle aged woman, but especially the wife of the White House Occupier on official business to Texas, as her husband's immigration policies were the caging of children, after being pulled from their mother's safe, loving arms -- small CHILDREN! ... What kind of woman, a mother herself, would make that statement? And then for it to be seen internationally?

Wearing it was a big political Fuck You to her husband sitting in the White House (it would've badly hurt a real, and normal president), and of course, an uncouth fuck you to the rest of us.

I don't believe she possesses the intelligence to qualify for that Einstein Visa she received to stay in this country, and I have never seen or read anywhere that she can really speak 5 languages. She can barely speak English.

I don't know what her true background is (though, I've seen the nude pictues!), or how she and Donald hooked up. I'd like to say I don't care, but I do. I don't know WHO she is. I don't trust her. I have way too many questions.

If she got a better deal out of Donald - I Don't Really Care, Do You? (I couldn't resist, my bad haha!) As an aside, didn't her parents arrive here around this time? Was that negotiated, too? It was at the same time Donald was belly-aching about Chain Migration.

Sorry for rambling ... too much good coffee this morning. I do tend to ramble, lol.

[StarfishSaver]

59. It was an excerpt from the article in the OP.

[sunonmars]

9. She's going to get a shock when she finds out, he owns nothing and its all debt

She won't see a penny of anything is my guess, when he's out of the office, the creditors are going to want their money and pound of flesh, his whole "wealth" is built on credit. He'll lose everything.

I kind of figured that is why she stayed in NY until she got a better contract.

[lagomorph777]

11. She's probably collateral on some of those loans from Putin.

[sunonmars]

13. She was part of the loan.....

[lagomorph777]

19. Ah, I confused "collateral" and "principal."

[ProfessorGAC]

74. Beat Me To It!

He's been living off the organization's line of credit for years, IMO.
It's the only explanation as to using foundation money for personal expenses.
Even PINO would get that it looks terrible (he so needs to be admired) & could be made to grasp it's illegal.
If he really was super rich, that never would have happened. But it did, because he ain't!

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. 1. Don't touch me. 2. Don't touch me. 3. Don't touch me. 4. Don't touch me.

5. Keep that damned little mushroom away from me.
6. Same with those fishy lips.
7. Don't touch me.

[Dios Mio]

26. The image is seared in my brain. Don't know which of them is more disgusting.

[keithbvadu2]

55. Melania: No kiss on lips!

12. whore

she married him for money, not because she wanted a millimeter of a toadstool dick

[MrsCoffee]

15. Ffs.

Did that make you feel better?

[denem]

16. a cold response on my part

What sort of money would you contemplate sufficent for having sex with that guy? M or F ?

[MrsCoffee]

17. I don't contemplate money for sex.

So I can’t even begin to relate or answer that question.

I also don’t use misogynistic slurs. I know who and what she is.

[flying_wahini]

20. Thanks MrsCoffee, I feel the same way.

[denem]

21. "I don't contemplate money for sex"

Good for you. Melania Knauss signed on the scheisse line.

[obamanut2012]

54. agree

[obamanut2012]

Your post is extremely gross and has no place on DU.

[ehrnst]

[Dios Mio]

29. The most expensive prostitute on earth. Another bad business deal.

[mopinko]

[obamanut2012]

50. You get get this is sexist and misogynistic as hell, and has NO place here?

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this garage and calling a woman a whore.

FFS.

[Dios Mio]

23. My partner

and I have a 20 year age gap and I don’t feel offended at all. No matter what opinions are expressed here there will always be someone lurking in the bushes waiting to be offended. No need to apologise. Like “offensive “ comedy you can always change the channel. I say good for us knowing our time together is limited therefore precious.

[amuse bouche]

24. Noel Casler, a very vocal critic, who worked on trump's Show for 6 Seasons,

says Melania doesn't live at the WH and has a boyfriend

[NameAlreadyTaken]

30. She only has eyes for Trump:

[spanone]

25. Such a love story....

'Leverage for renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with president trump'

[NameAlreadyTaken]

28. Is she sure he's even worth anything?

[Dios Mio]

31. Maybe she isn't a very good deal maker either.

[FakeNoose]

34. I bet she's voting for Biden

Bye Don!

[ehrnst]

39. "Vagina is expensive," Trump to Howard Stern on his marriage to Melania.

When you view a woman as "vagina," often that comes back to grab you by the short hairs.

https://heavy.com/news/2016/09/donald-trump-sexist-sexism-howard-stern-interview-women-vagina-expensive/

I'm sure she was also waiting for an opportunity to make him pay for this:

‘I’ll give her a week’ to lose the baby weight, Trump said of Melania, months before alleged tryst with porn star

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/01/19/ill-give-her-a-week-to-lose-the-baby-weight-trump-said-of-melania-months-before-alleged-tryst-with-porn-star/

[bigtree]

51. title wins the thread

[soothsayer]

42. I don't hate her

Not really worth the energy.

[Dukkha]

58. So they run their marriage like a business too

Emotionally bankrupt with the employees (children) forgotten

[samsingh]

62. so trump is a scare bunker boy who lost to his wife

i wonder if melania-gate is hoping for a complete loss in nov so she can get get out of her marriage to the orange buffoon and find a real man

[yellowcanine]

63. Et tu Melania?!

[Skittles]

76. she is as disgusting as he is, a pure gold digger

[EleanorR]

81. And it cost taxpayers 10s of millions of dollars

Aside from flights, security at Trump Tower cost the New York Police Department between $127,000 and $146,000 a day while Melania and Barron were staying there, and the Secret Service requested an additional $60 million to protect the president's family.
